| —Trait description |
Splash Caster, colloquially known as Area-of-Effect/AoE Caster, is a branch of the Caster class in Arknights.
As their name suggests, Splash Caster Operators' attacks deal splash damage affecting enemies in a radius of 1.1 tiles centered on the target, with a range of 2×2 with a 1-tile extension up front initially or 2×3 from Elite 1. Compared to other Caster branches, Splash Caster Operators have higher ATK at the cost of high DP cost – both of which are among the highest of all Casters – and long attack interval.

Strategies[edit]
- Splash Caster Operators excel at mowing down entire groups of enemies, especially ones with DEF that may make it difficult for physical units to damage them. They are especially effective when placed at chokepoints, where they can blow away entire waves with only a blocker to hold enemies in place.
- However, outside of stages with high enemy density, Splash Caster Operators become considerably less effective due to their low single target DPS and very high DP costs.
Modules[edit]
- The SPC-X Module solves the Splash Caster Operator's short range by giving them the same range as Core Operators which can make the difference in most situations.
- The SPC-Y Module solves the Splash Caster Operator's high DP cost, with the reduction makes them only costing around the same DP between Core and Mystic Operators to deploy.
Tips[edit]
- Splash Caster Operators' high DP cost means that Vanguards are essential to be able to deploy them earlier (unless with SPC-Y Module, but Vanguards are recommended nonetheless).
- Most of Splash Caster Operators' skills have high SP cost, hence SP batteries can assist them to use their skills more frequently.
